Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.

Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not.

Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me? Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering because things are going hardly with me? There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
